if you are taking anti-anxiety meds, I can see why you'd take them "as needed". But if you are taking anti-depressants, that's a daily thing you take, that builds up over time.
Yeah, you are right, I'm on anti-anxiety meds (Xanax) but I'll talk again to my doctor cause it doesn't seem to work for too long.
And not sleeping well, over time, adds up to a lot of other problems, including not thinking or feeling as well as I needed to. I don't pooh pooh a lack of sleep or not eating right, as a small health issue. It stinks. (Though the weight loss had some advantages at first...I lost 15 lbs and some of that was good).
Likewise, the weight loss is welcomed right now but I hope I've lost all I ha to lose. Any more and it'll be too much. I started off at 75KG an I'm now at 63 KG. That's more than 25 lbs.
And as a parent, our children need us MORE at these times, not less.
Know what I mean? To my kids I must have seemed preoccupied when H was leaving or gone or not sure what he was doing...I wasn't fully present for my kids,
Yes I know and I live it too. Just the basic stress of trying to start over in this place is enough to preoccupy me but add to that the present sitch and I know D8 is not always getting the best of me she should.
and the anti anxiety meds helped to keep me in check, so I could be with my kids and focus on them. Make sense?
Yes, I understand and that is why I asked my doctor for this but I'm not much of a med taker and it worries me that I have to be down to this.
Thanks 25.
